As you can probably figure out, astrologist's are very wealthy people. You see them on TV all the time and they seem pretty exciting and mysterious. What exactly do they do and how can you become one?

First of all, what do astrologers do and who are they? Astrologers are regular people with a lot of knowledge about how the universe works and how it influences different individuals. They are not superheroes and they do not have superpowers, mind reading abilities, or any other powers a comic book character may have. They learn to interpret the position of the celestial bodies and help people resolve their astrological problems.

What are astrological problems? There is a constant flow of energy throughout the universe. This flow can have a positive or a negative impact on you. An astrologer can help you get through the times when the universe is sending you negative energy, during which you can get yourself in a lot of messes. You may be surprised that some of your regular problems are actually astrological - stress, sleeping disorders, eating problems, weight problems, and many more.

You can become a professional astrologer and help others and yourself get rid of all your astrological problems. As the internet has become the better way to shop, bank, read, etc, so it has become the better way to study. Online courses are first of all more affordable and you don't have to waste your time driving somewhere just to attend. You can study from your home, whenever you desire.

A good place to start looking is the White Astrology website. You can learn and start working as an astrologer within seven days. What I like about this site is that the material is not made up by someone who doesn't know anything about astrology. The material that you will learn is designed by an outstanding astrologer that you can benefit a lot from.

When searching for an astrologer, it can be very hard to weed out the good from the fraud. The reality is that most of the astrologers you find online aren't actual astrologers, but people with pricey astrology software who input your birth data, press a few buttons, and out comes your astrology reading. While astrological software has its merits, it's wrong for someone to purchase a reading believing they're getting something unique to themselves. No matter how good astrology software is, it can't replace the actual astrologer, who can spot subtle nuances a computer can't. And hey, is it really fair to shell out $100 to someone for a reading when it only takes them less than five minutes to do it?

That being said, it's hard to find someone who is a true practitioner, so here are a few things to try:

1) Ask people you know for a personal reference if they've gotten a reading from someone and what their experience was. If it's someone you trust, there's no better place to start.

2) Once you've gotten a few astrologers picked out that you're interested in, contact them and ask if they can give you any references. Be warned though, that they could be giving you the name of a friend or family member who'd vouch for them no matter what, so choose your questions carefully. Two questions to ask that can give you a clue are "What is their turnaround time?" and "How long was the reading?" (For long readings, it should not be very fast, yet many of the astrological programs will be 25-50 pages - if you receive a reading that long that only took a few days, that's a clue. Readings should generally also vary in length from person to person, so if you notice that everyone you talk to had a reading the same length, that can be another clue. Make sure to ask these questions with tip #3 as well).

3) Join an online forum/message board/community focused on astrology or metaphysical pursuits and ask who people recommend and what their experiences were.

4) See if the astrologer has written books or articles on astrology, or if they have a blog where they talk about astrology. This can help show you whether or not they truly know and understand astrology.

5) Check if they're members of astrology associations. The big one in the U.S. is the American Federation of Astrologers (astrologers.com). They give extensive astrological exams in order to qualify as a student, teacher, or professional. It should be noted that there are many good astrologers not with them (in fact, many of the most well-known and successful are not), but it's a good resource.
